George Herbert (1593-1633)

The Temple

Hope

I gave to Hope a watch of mine: but he

An anchor gave to me.
Then an old prayer-book I did present:

And he an optick sent.
With that I gave a viall full of tears:

But he a few green eares:
Ah Loyterer! I’le no more, no more I’le bring:

I did expect a ring.
